Kashi Baked Apple Spice TLC Bar

Looks: Nearly identical to the one on the box, minus the flying. A little bit darker, probably a little drier. 4.5 out of 5

Taste: How do I say this nicely… This TLC (“Tasty Little Cereal”) bar is, how you say, NVG (“Not Very Good”). It’s really dry, and the apple spice filling doesn’t have much flavor. It’s not a complete loss, as it’s still gives you something mildly flavored to chew on, but the “T” in “TLC” is a definite misnomer. 1.5 out of 5

I’ve only had their breakfast cereal. I didn’t like it when Post made it and it was called Grape Nuts. The fact that they traveled the world over, as their commercials depict, tasting all manner of exotic fruits and berries and still came up with what I believe is essentially a box of gravel, makes me wonder if these folks are really as concerned about us as they claim to be. I’m starting to think these huge touchy-feely conglomerates are all talk.
